Prevention, early identification, assessment and intervention in low- and middle-income countries | A Review | CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT
                                                            
                         
                     
                                                        
                        
                        
                            
                            
                                
                                Care for persons with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a major health priority for most countries worldwide, particularly for low-middle income countries where the problem seems to be worsening. Globally,
                                                                    ...
                                    
                                         research demonstrates that the vast majority of people with NCDs receive suboptimal care. Many people living with chronic conditions remain undiagnosed and unaware of their condition, while many others remain untreated or with inadequate control. Meanwhile the premature mortality caused by NCDs remains high in many countries. In response to the global epidemic of NCDs, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases in 2012, which establishes 9 voluntary global targets and indicators to be considered by Member States when formu- lating national plans to combat NCDs.

                                The frequency of infectious disease epidemics is increasing, and the role of the health sector in the management of epidemics is crucial in terms of response. In the context of infectious disease epidemics, the use of climate-informed early warning 
                                                                    ...
                                    
                                        systems (EWS) has the potential to increase the effectiveness of disease control by intervening before or at the beginning of the epidemic curve, instead of during the downward slope.
Currently, the initiation of interventions is heavily reliant on routine disease surveillance systems – data that often arrive too late for preventative response. However, forecasting of disease outbreaks using surveillance and weather information shows promising potential – there also remains further scope to examine seasonal climate forecasts. By combining these elements in new EWS based on computational models, it will be possible to improve both the timeliness and impact of disease control. The World Health Organization (WHO) is strengthening existing surveillance systems for infectious diseases to enable the development of more robust and timely EWS, which has resulted in the rapid development and innovation of EWS for disease outbreaks.

                                The Event-based Surveillance Framework is intended to be used by authorities and agencies responsible for 
surveillance and response. This framework serves as an outline to guide stakeholders interested in implementing 
event-based surveillance (EBS) using a multisectoral, One Health approach. To 
                                                                    ...

in interlinked chapters and annexes that can be modified and adapted, as needed, by users. 
This is a revised version of the original “Framework for Event-based Surveillance” that was published in 2018. This 
framework does not replace any other available EBS materials, but rather builds on existing relevant or related 
documents and serves as a practical guide for the implementation of EBS in Africa. This framework is aligned with 
the third edition of the WHO Joint External Evaluation for the following indicators: strengthened early warning 
surveillance systems that are able to detect events of significance for public health and health security (Indicator 
D2.1); improved communication and collaboration across sectors and between National, intermediate and local 
public health response levels of authority regarding surveillance of events of public health significance (Indicator 
D2.2); and improved national and intermediate-level capacity to analyse data (Indicator D2.3). As countries begin 
to implement and demonstrate EBS functionality they will ensure an increase in JEE scores and progress towards 
meeting the requirements outlined in the IHR3F
Additionally, in African Union Member States that have adopted the Integrated Disease Surveillance and 
Response (IDSR) strategy, this document is a complement to and can enhance the implementation of IDSR, 
especially for the 3rd edition (2019) that includes components related to EBS.
